Average locksmith prices in the UK are around £65 per hour, provided it’s not an emergency. That said, it’s worth noting specialised keys or car keys will cost more.

What does key cutting involve?

Standard key cutting might be a quick process, but it’s a specialist one, too. A qualified locksmith or key cutting service will:

• Edges are smoothed and finished so the new key fits in the lock

Then it’s over to you to test the key to make sure it works perfectly.
